Everything against the Ligurians in the second half: penalty from the Georgian and then brace from the Nigerian. Shameful choirs from the La Spezia curve that praised the death of Maradona
February 5 – LA SPEZIA
Naples OK and Spezia KO Playing on the initials of the protagonists Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen, the leaders leave, as their fans who arrived in large numbers from northern Italy sing. In a grumpy game with a Spezia who holds up well for a while, the Azzurri find the goals of the two champions and in control, without overdoing it, the team once again shows strong nerves and great mastery of their means. The racist chants of the La Spezia and ignoble curve are out of tune, in particular the chants praising the death of Maradona.
Azzurri under rhythm

Spalletti can field whoever he wants and opts for the confirmation of the eleven who beat Roma. Gotti, who has just undergone hip surgery, is unable to go to the bench where Lorieri replaces him. In Spezia they have to make a virtue of necessity due to the numerous absences, but the Ligurians have a tight and compact 3-5-2 that does not allow the usual quick ball turn for the leaders. The landlords always start off dangerously and with Agudelo they also get to shoot and create some scrums in the blue area. Then Napoli comes out, with Kvaratskhelia delicious in tight dribbling but then not decisive in the last step. Few balls for Osimhen. At least for a time. Spalletti gets very agitated on the bench because his team is losing pace and thus facilitates the defensive phase for Caldara and his teammates.
Jailbird hand

At the start of the second half the decisive episode. Carry, up to that moment the best, gets worried in the Politano area behind him and loses sight of the ball for a moment, which ends up in his hand. He clear penalty, made perfectly by Kvaratskhelia. Spezia tries a reaction, well controlled by Banda Spalletti who strikes at the first opportunity with his top scorer who goes up to the sky on a loose ball in the area and even anticipates Dragowski’s awkward exit with his head. Game closed definitively when on a mistake by Caldara, Kvara takes the ball and duets with Osimhen: the Georgian gives the Nigerian the brace. And the leader goes away.
